Healthcare productivity, and its sociodemographic determinants, of Saudi female nurses: A cross-sectional survey, Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia, 2017.

Abstract

Healthcare productivity index score was lower among married Saudi female nurses than never married nurses. However, aspects of married life commonly believed to cause home work-life conflicts, such as number of children, living with or without family, having disabled children in household and personal factors such as age did not have statistically significant influence on the productivity index score. It is possible that unexplained cultural issues associated with being married may be responsible for a lower productivity index score among married female nurses in Saudi Arabia.
